Port Nikau Commercial
Port Nikau offers a range of retail, commercial and industrial lease opportunities, from greenfield development sites to waterfront sections and with build-to-lease options.
Premium Location
Port Nikau’s central location, just minutes from Whangārei CBD and 4.8 km to State Highway One, makes it an ideal location for a wide range of tenants, including commercial, retail and industrial. A mix of Light Industrial and Heavy Industrial zoned sites are available, offering flexibility to suit different business types. New commercial opportunities are being released regularly, as the wider development unfolds.
Established tenants in the engineering, transport, manufacturing and storage sectors have already recognised the advantages of this prime location, including CAL Isuzu, Whangārei Aluminium, Airzone, LB Collision Repair Group and McFall Fuels. Port Nikau offers the ideal solution for businesses wanting to be centrally located, providing easy access to customers and suppliers, and with space to grow.
Customised Build to Lease Solutions
Port Nikau offers build to lease solutions for all commercial tenants, regardless of complexity. A recent example is the specialised construction project for McFall Fuels site (below), completed in 2024. The security-fenced and sealed yard is designed to meet best practice environmental standards for storing fuel tankers, with underground stormwater bunkers and treatment. The modern office and workshop provide facilities for day staff and in-transit drivers. Port Nikau’s commercial areas include zoning for Business 4 under the Whangārei District Plan, offering flexibility to suit different business types.
Industrial and Commercial
In 2020, Whangārei District Council approved a special chapter of their new District Plan for Port Nikau, allowing for an urban development that combines commercial / industrial with a town centre, up to 1,200 low and medium-density residential housing, mixed-use buildings and open spaces. The Port Nikau town centre will come to life over the next 5-10 years, becoming the central hub of this new waterfront community. This exciting new commercial development will include opportunities for offices, retail, medical and hospitality, alongside continued light and heavy industrial leases.
Prime commercial waterfront land is now available at Port Nikau. This is a very desirable location for quality commercial build to lease opportunities, within metres of waterfront and walking distance to Port Nikau’s café/restaurant and the site for the future Port Nikau village centre.
Prime Waterfront Opportunity
This large area on Dawson Street at the entrance to Port Nikau is adjacent to the Port Nikau residential development, and ideally suited to commercial businesses that compliment residential development, such as childcare centres, professional services and fitness / gym facilities. Planning consents allow for 3-4 storey high office blocks, ideal for larger businesses looking for expansive office space close to town and with an opportunity to grow. Build to Lease opportunities are also available.
Logyard Lane Sections
Logyard Lane is a new industrial area adjacent to Logyard Road in Port Nikau, an attractive location for a wide range of service industries and home to high quality established tenants. There are currently metalled and fenced yards for lease, with build to lease options allowing you to tailor-make sites to your preferred business’ area requirements.
